Center for Enabling Distributed Petascale Science

The SciDAC-funded Center for Enabling Distributed Petascale Science (CEDPS) is focused on enabling, for high-performance distributed scientific applications, fast, dependable data placement and the convenient
construction of scalable services. CEDPS will also address the important problem of troubleshooting these and other related distributed activities.

In this project, we have enhanced the open-source ZSI SOAP toolkit, making it the most advanced SOAP/WSDL toolkit available for Python. We continue to lead the active ZSI user community. We also developed
the grid Remote Application Virtualization Interface (gRAVI), which simplifies the grid-enabling of science applications for the development of scientific workflows. gRAVI has been used to wrap tomography applications
at the Advanced Photon Source (ANL) and science applications in transposon workflows in the caBig’s caGrid community. We also developed the NetLogger Pipeline for online troubleshooting of large, multicomponent
processes such as workflows and remote jobs with input/output staging of data via GridFTP or SRM. The NetLogger pipeline is running on NERSC and has also been used for offline analysis of huge workflows
run by Pegasus-WMS for the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC).
